Xi Hosts Trump Then Putin as Beijing Rises as Global Diplomatic Hub

Chinese President Xi Jinping hosted Donald Trump and is now welcoming Vladimir Putin to Beijing within the same week, with Chinese state media declaring Beijing the 'focal point of global diplomacy' as the Russia-China strategic partnership marks 30 years. This unprecedented back-to-back hosting of the world's two other most powerful leaders signals the consolidation of a formidable geopolitical axis — one that Bible prophecy identifies as key players in the alignment of nations against Israel in the last days. Ezekiel 38 describes a coalition led by 'Gog' from the north, widely associated with Russia, joined by eastern powers, converging in the end-times — a alignment now visibly taking shape.
